The next ice age “has now been delayed indefinitely.” At least that’s what the National Climate Assessment and Development Advisory Committee wants you to think. In a new report, the committee says that — assuming the earth was largely controlled by natural factors — the next ice age would arrive within the next 1,500 years. But thanks to you, oh noble polluter, that time stamp is now indefinite.

As usual, the report contained some irony. When discussing the “scientists'” warning of a coming ice age in the 1970s, the authors went on the defensive: “An enduring myth about climate science is that in the 1970s the climate science community was predicting ‘global cooling‘ and an ‘imminent’ ice age.” Well, there was in fact strong agreement in the scientific community about an imminent ice age. The paper followed up by casting blame on their best advocates: “The popular press … carried a number of articles about the cooling climate at that time.” Yes, you read that right — they’re accusing the mainstream media of hyping the situation. Thank goodness we don’t have that problem now!

The paper predicts temperatures will warm another 3 to 10 degrees Fahrenheit by the end of the century. As you could guess, they find a solution through population control and lower emissions.

In short, this is just another report based on big lies, such as Obama’s claim in his SOTU address that the “12 hottest years on record have all come in the last 15.” Their end game is eradication of a free market via big-government control by deception — all to “save the planet,” of course.

Speaking of global warming causing problems, at 1425 EST, an enormous asteroid (2012 DA14) will be passing closer to earth than any in recorded history — passing at 27,600 kilometers, inside the geosynchronous orbit of communication satellites. The effect on those satellites is unknown as NASA has never recorded such a close pass. It’s about 50 meters in diameter and traveling at 13k/sec. Its trajectory is north to south.

The nation’s total violent crime rate hit an all-time high in 1991. Thereafter, it declined 18 of the next 20 years, 49 percent overall, to a 41-year low in 2011. That included a 52 percent decrease in the nation’s murder rate, to a 48-year low, nearly the lowest point in U.S. history. The FBI has preliminarily reported that in the first half of 2012, the murder rate dropped another 2.7 percent.1

New polling from Washington Post-ABC News and Pew find that President Obama’s campaign to repress the Second Amendment right “keep and bear arms” is faltering.

On January 22, 2013, Pew released polling results that found the public followed news about Obama’s gun control proposals closely and the reaction is mixed. Only 39 percent think Obama’s proposals are about right, while 31 percent think the proposals go too far. Or, as Politico put it, “39 percent back Obama gun plan.”

Of course there is the usual partisan divide. A 57 percent majority of Republicans say the proposals go too far, and 25 percent say they are about right. A 55 percent majority of Democrats (55%) say the proposals s are about right, and 10 percent say they go too far. Independents are more evenly divided — 36 percent say the proposals are about right, while 33 percent say they go too far. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →

Yesterday, Reed Exhibitions announced it was “postponing” the Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show. Originally scheduled to begin on February 2 in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, the nine day show is the country’s largest outdoor show, and regularly attracts as many as 200,000 outdoor enthusiasts. It also puts an estimated $44 million in direct revenues into the region’s economy. Some hoteliers and restaurants say this decision will “make for a very long winter” in their area. Many of the more than 1,000 exhibitors come from out of the region and provide a huge boost to a slow season during the nine-day event. Reed kicked off a controversy when managers announced their decision not to allow any presence of the AR-rifle platform at the Eastern Show. That prohibition even extended to images of the rifle used to solicit raffle ticket sales. In other words, the AR (initially, they called it an “assault rifle”) was a non-starter at what Reed considered a pure hunting and fishing show.

“The people that have stepped forward on this are the gun grabbers. They are the anti-Second Amendment crowd. They are the opportunists that showed up the morning after the terrible tragedy at Sandy Hook,” said King. “So the president is following Rahm Emanuel’s directive. It’s a crisis that he doesn’t want to let go to waste.”

King rejects all of the main Obama priorities on guns and took special aim at the effort to reduce magazine capacity.

“If you’re going to reduce the number of rounds in a clip, where is the constitutional stop for that? Do you do it at 10 rounds? Seven rounds? Six, five, four, one? Or do you just say everything has to be a single shot?” asked King. “When you go down this incremental encroachment upon our Second Amendment rights, I think they probably would not stop at machetes. But that’s the direction they want to go.”

This is more evidence that these anti-gunners do not care about the Second Amendment. They do not care about our Right to Bear Arms. They are not concerned with the nation’s hunters, sportsmen, or families trying to protect themselves.

The liberals go on TV to discuss gun control to complain that conservatives do not compromise and that “something is better than nothing.” They play the victim like they are just looking for minor gun control to prevent tragedies. They say they will never threaten the use of weapons used for hunting and personal protection. Then they propose something that is so extreme like Feinstein’s proposed ban; of course we would never cooperate or agree with this.
